Last night all the teams gathered in town for the Opening Ceremonies of the tournament. They had some traditional Macedonian dancing and then all the teams were announced. It was pretty cool.
We ended up losing to Greece 59-71 today. They pressed us for a majority of the game, which they had not done in either of the two test games. We just did not handle the pressure the way that we should have, we got rattled at the beginning and never really recovered. It is disappointing because we had played so well against them in Thessaloniki and we were really counting on being able to beat them and start off the tournament with a win.
But there is no time to sulk about it, we play Hungary tomorrow, which will be a tough game as well. We need to move on from today and focus on tomorrow.
